    I agree when you say very few teens are clinically depressed. When people go through their teens they are naturally emotional.

    I disagree with not going to support groups, therapists and doctors for both therapy and medication. Sometimes you just can’t get the help you need from home. I believe there everyone is a little insane. It’s a natural part of human life.

    I come from a family that is very supportive of me. I have a wonderful boyfriend (handsome too) who loves me dearly. I have talent.

    But over the last year I have suffered from Body Dimorphic Disorder. I tend to obsessed over my appearance. I’m not much worried about look pretty or handsome like Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, but I’m obsessed with symmetry. I cannot count the times when I have hated the shape of my head, nose, the quality of my hair, my height, my teeth, etc.. I got to a point last year where I couldn’t even leave the house because I didn’t want people to see me! I have thought about suicide, as I know my feelings towards myself will never completely dissolve away.

    It is that, combined with fear of being able to be entirely independent and failure that have caused me to hate myself so much and rate myself as worthless.

    Since then I’ve been working myself out of a hole, but every now and then I fall back again.

    I was suicidal once in my life. Seriously suicidal. Well, twice if you count when I was 8, also seriously suicidal, but not depressed. We were moving to USA from Russia and I heard that US didn't have any tall buildings, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able end my life if I so chose in US (I know it was stupid, I was 8, and no idea of how to kill myself other than jumping of the 9th level). Kinda funny, that. Imagine parents finding out that their 8 year old, happy, smart daughter jumped out the window. Hehe. OK, my humor was a bit dark. Anyway after the second time that I was suicidal, I understood that life has some serious ups and serious downs, and the downs will always go up if you try the smallest bit.
